Blue flowered Petunias are biochemically impossible. The floral pigment is
carotenoid and the closest you could ever get is a deep purple, never
anything approaching a true blue.

Lobelia erinus is the traditional plant grown for a true blue flower color.
There are also selections of it with white, pink and red flowers!

I have been looking for blue petunia's and although I found some that say
they are blue they look purple rather than blue. Is it my monitor or are
there petunia's that are dark blue in color?

Anyone have a suggestion for an alternative blue flower? I am planning on
a
fourth of July party and I wanted to do one of the back flowerbeds in red,
white and blue for a change in color. Petunia's always grew quite well in
this space so I'm trying to stick with something I know will grow well or
equally as well.
